Journal ArticlesPaun, Maria-AlexandraSallese, Jean-MichelKayal, MaherComparative Study on the Performance of Five Different Hall Effect DevicesSensors1424-822010.3390/s1302020931322093-211220Five different Hall Effect sensors were modeled and their performance evaluated using a three dimensional simulator. The physical structure of the implemented sensors reproduces a certain technological fabrication process. Hall voltage, absolute, current-related, voltage-related and power-related sensitivities were obtained for each sensor. The effect of artificial offset was also investigated for cross-like structures. The simulation procedure guides the designer in choosing the Hall cell optimum shape, dimensions and device polarization conditions that would allow the highest performance.Hall Effect sensor design;
